Later, "Zhengnuhua" was used to refer to orchids. The poem "Inscribed on Sun Ming's Chang Hua Orchid" written by Wu Weiye of the Qing Dynasty: "The trees in Xie's family are so beautiful, and the flowers in Zheng's house can shine in the bridal chamber."

His five sons, Yi, Yan, Kan, Yan, and Xi, were all admitted to the imperial examination one after another (there is a popular saying of "five sons ascending to the imperial examination"), and later they all became famous ministers and ministers. The words "grass", "orchid" and "osmanthus" in this sentence are all names of flowers and trees, and they all correspond to the sentence "There is a lingering fragrance in the garden".
